EcoTeq Mean Green EcoMow R96
Landscape Contractor Magazine
|May - June 2025
The EcoMow R96 zero turn has been meticulously crafted to support the unique needs of local governments and facilities-maintenance contractors who maintain expansive outdoor spaces. After a day of testing the R96, Blue Ridge Property Maintenance's Mat Wandmaker was a big fan.

There's no doubt the EcoMow R96 is an imposing machine. Powered by a 44kWh lithium-ion battery and running Mean Green's Impulse Drive System™, the R96 has grunt equivalent to a 37-horsepower diesel engine. With a single full battery charge, it can run for up to eight hours uninterrupted and cover up to 43 acres.
That's a mighty impressive introduction right there, and seeing the glow in the eyes of Mat Wandmaker as the R96 rolled quietly off the trailer, we knew we weren't the only ones who felt a little overawed.
Designed for pros
The 100% electric design of the EcoMow R96 eliminates the need for hydraulics or oils and produces zero operational emissions.
It's quiet, too. It's a little hard to grasp how a machine of this size, with a 96-inch cut and such an imposing presence, operates at only 76 decibels. But it does, and that low volume is a real advantage, both for operators and sensitive work areas.
The ergonomic design includes a custom high-back suspension seat ideal for longer shifts, an interactive touchscreen display, and intuitive controls that make it safe and comfortable for operators.
